Pensioners' Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

For those with "pre-damaged knees", the retirees' path is definitely recommended on the descent. He walks less directly in the fall line than the Heinrich Gith Steig.

Quickly up to the Schöpfl. But this time from Forsthof and over the Heinrich Gith Steig. Not found at the bottom because the signpost was twisted and the beginning of the climb was not recognizable through the trees and snow. Then I turned the signpost a bisl for the next new ones here ;-)

Nice hike that rewards with a wonderful view from the Matras lookout. Up over the Heinrich Gith Steig, down over the (more knee-friendly) Pensionistensteig.

Enjoy the fresh cold air and stop at the shelter 🥰
